Add molybdenum ore #19

Closed S-S-X closed 1 year ago

S-S-X commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/pandorabox-io/pandorabox.io/issues/608

If we need more expensive and interesting recipes and more content to game I would lean towards actually adding molybdenum ore and alloys I've been talking about, see following article for easy to read generic all around info: https://www.britannica.com/technology/molybdenum-processing

That could also be first ore that could require HV furnaces for smelting because of very high melting point, a lot higher than other metals currently available. Some of current technic recipes could be updated to use alloys requiring molybdenum and it would serve as good ingredient for some more or less planned upgrades.

That would add content on many levels, would be fairly big content upgrade for mt-mods technic with relatively simple changes to actual code and would also make it stand out with more interesting generic content.

I really started thinking this should be considered as real option.

Compounding idea: Add Molybdenum, as stated above, but also create "Tungsten" ; and some made-up alloy of those, and craft that allow w/ BRC (blast resistant concrete) and some sort of transparent glass to make some sort of "semi-translucent super impenetrable armor block", that can resist a space-cannon's energy cube. and secondary TNT explosion. Probably only way to "dig" this stuff (should it be placed incorrectly) would be to use a diamond tool or node-replacer.

Derpswa's Ore and tools mod never made it into Version 1.0, plus additional problems.

Closing this for now. When someone finds a Molybdenum ore mod, we can reopen this.

Anyone here whom can tell this has possibilities? Can't find if this is just a list of elements, or if each of them is introduced in the game this way ... https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18322&hilit=molybdenum

it does not look like the poster bothered to take his time to actually make a mod out of it.

1.5 years later .... worth to work on this, or close it?

OgelGames commented 1 year ago

Yeah, probably better to wait until there is a need for it, rather than to just add it.

Maybe a new ore will be added when we add aliens to the warzone, but it's probably not going to be molybdenum anyway.

While there would be logical use cases for it with some existing things it was still more for some new stuff / few things that didn't have recipes back then but some now have.

IMO no need to keep this open and also most of reasoning / discussion can actually be found from that long closed linked train recipe issue while this one basically just represents list of other materials and alloys without reasoning or use cases (other than for tungsten).
